Teamwork—Connecting Sunday School to Life
Create: Create an environment where failure is not
fatal. “Fear of failing will shut down learning.”
Create learning opportunities. Make learning available through activities and resources.
Set the example. Model continuous learning. “People seldom improve when they have no
model but themselves to copy.” –Oliver Goldsmith
Teamwork—Connecting Sunday School to Life
Inspire: Seek opportunities to learn from those
you lead. Give assignments that challenge and
stretch leaders to learn. Encourage and compliment their efforts
and recognize their improvements.“Leaders inspire their leadership when
they seek to learn rather than when they seek to teach.”
Teamwork—Connecting Sunday School to Life
Seek: Seek out leaders who have a strong
desire to improve themselves. Help them identify and close the gap
between where they are (skills, gifts, talents) and where they want to go (purpose.)
Seek opportunities for reflection, feedback, and transfer of key learnings.
